Thanks for being friends with THE SAVAGE SCIENCE--your source for MMA, mayhem and more..
KILLER fight at DREAM.4. Easily the fight of the night which on that card is a pretty impressive feat..that first round gets my vote for best round of the year so far.
In any case, good luck and looking forward to seeing you fight again soon--

I think that sums it up nicely eh? all of us back home are crazy proud of you, youre the man at leading by example, hope this finds you poundin some sakebombs and celebrating with mcdonalds Kobe , hell you even got Kid tryin to jock your look, but I think it only works with black frames. Head up to the sky BC ,if there was any way to make a statement as an underdog , that was it , all the best and I owe you a steak dinner or somethin.
